I don't really feel like writing a cohesive paragraph, so I'm just gonna make a list to tell you why my newsletter is better than the Central Gwinnett's crappy excuse for a newspaper.
10) No trees were harmed in the making of the Litterbox.
9) Val cares more about the Litterbox than the Excalibur. (She's Queen of our webpage, by the way...)
8) No stupid ads or prom dress catalogs.
7) More issues. More humor. More interesting opinions.
6) The Litterbox has one editor-in-chief, not three. (Can we say "too many cooks spoil the broth"??)
5) We actually have a spellchecker. (As well as many of the writers in top-of-the-line English classes.)
4) The surprise element of the issue date. Screw deadlines--I make this thing when I have the time.
3) No stupid-bubbly-chorus-dropout-cheerleader-skank-idiot writers! Or subscribers!
2) No damn fuckin' shit-faced censorship!
1) It's FREE. Need I say more?Topic 2) Yea, the Overstuffed Bird Dances Nicely: - By Kim
I have a very odd theory as to why it is that I act the way I do this year--it's Senioritis. But unlike the normal senior afflicted with this disease that gets lazy in their schoolwork and uninvolved in their club activities and closer to their friends, believing life is all about the good times, I have pushed away my friends and become focused on college and making sure that when I am gone I am not needed so therefore not missed. I've found myself becoming more involved in my overactive life and pushing away most everyone that I do not want to have to miss in college because I know either I or they will not stay in touch . . .
The theory goes deeper, and it all stems back to the fact that I do not want to be a sobbing wreck at the end of the year. I am an extremely emotional person and I know it, so, not in the best form or fashion, I have become a sort of recluse.
It started with the changes--the change of my 4H agent, the change of directors and virtually everything I knew about Band, the change of Student Council sponsors, the change of every aspect of Student Council, the change of the lifestyle of people around me, the change of priorities of all my senior friends as they get Senioritis . . . But all the changes led me to the same thing--college is all about change: nothing will be the same I won't be at home in a safe zone protected by parents; I won't know everyone in every single one of my classes; I won't have my established place in any club; I won't even have a good shot of making it into the band . . .
So over the course of my senior year, I have been struggling to find myself and what matters to me--not what matters to my friends. And that has led to a division in many friendships. It also makes me appear to be more cynical and mean-spirited but I don't think I have, I just verbalize my thoughts more frequently now because I know that people I deal with now on a daily basis I'll not necessarily see ever again after this May.
What does that mean to you? I don't know. But that is why I think I am acting in the manner that I am. Maybe some of you can relate, maybe not. But all in all, Senioritis is a very strange disease.Topic 3) Cat's Song of the Week:
